Congrats on the amazing weightloss, focus on the good and I agree with Restless, if you were able to be discipline to do it without the band then continue on.....imagine what you can do in another 6 months....best of luck

Hey everyone. I'm 27 and just finished my last requirement and I started this journey June 26, 2009. I shared this decision with my immediate family and a cousin. I don't want to share because I don't want to deal with the judgements. I'm scared, nervous and excited. I'm just ready to begin my life. I am scared about the preop diet, but I'm ready.....wishing everyone all success and happiness.

food is a very big part of my life, I express myself with food....I eat when I'm happy, sad, nervous, angry, but I'm ready to battle this mental disease and win with the help of the lap band lol.

I would love to be a part of the LI group, I work and do everything in LI. Keep me posted. Haven't been banded, but almost there lol.

Everything is slowly coming into place. I finished all the testing required as per my doctor and insurance, just need to make sure they send my clearance letters to the surgeon. I just made my nut and psy appt. I'm almost at the finish line. Thanks for eveyone's kind words and support. My journey began 6/26/2009 when I met Dr. Geiss (surgeon). I'm officially no longer discouraged and nervous, but super excited. Hey everyone lol :w00t:

I'm currently working on my requirements, but my doctor/insurance required:
Psy and Nut consult
PFT/Sleep Study
ECHO/Stress/CHest X-ray
Upper GI
Lab work
All I have left is the psy and nut consult and making sure the doctors send my clearance letters.

My first support group was scary too. I was the youngest in the room as well, but after listening to everyone's stories I started feeling comfortable. I didn't ask any questions either. I'm still preop myself working on my requirements because I'm worried about hanging skin, I try to work often. Good luck momma....wishing you all the best
-
Anyone banded by Dr. Giess in Syosset, NY? Any advise or suggestions, comments or conserns for me. I'm currently still working on my requirements. Did you guys use his psy and nut?????
